If the notice is returned showing the letter was not delivered, a copy thereof shall be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the structure affected by such notice. The person or entity shall have 20 days from the date of receipt of the notice to either cure the violation or to appeal as provided in §

If the owner, entity or person in possession of the dwelling

be certified by the Township Clerk and filed with the Township Tax
Collector, who shall be responsible for the collection thereof. The
amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien upon the dwelling
and/or lands and shall be added to and become and form part of the
taxes next assessed and levied upon such dwelling and lands, shall
bear interest at the same rate as the taxes, and shall be collected
and enforced by the same officer and in the same manner as taxes.
Costs shall be in addition to any penalties imposed for a violation
